It will be another warm day, with the best of the sunshine this morning. Temperatures should peak at 22 or 23. During the afternoon, the warm, humid, unstable air will encourage big cumulonimbus clouds to build up, with some places receiving heavy showers, with perhaps hail & thunder.At present, radar projections suggest the worst of these storms will pass to the east of Pitlochry, moving south. There is always the risk that we might be affected to a greater or lesser extent. Any showers that do affect us, will die out during the evening, giving a dry night.
